Variable Speed Pumps

Variable
Speed Pool Pumps

Most people are
shocked to leam it costs hundreds to power a traditional, single-speed
pool pump-sometimes well over $1,000. Tomorrow, it will certainly cost
more. But, help is on the way with the most energy-saving pool equipment
innovation in.. .well.. .forever.

How much energy can on IntelliFlo® Variable Speed
pump save?

Typical single-speed pumps can consume as much energy
as all your other home appliances combined. Why not replace that energy
hog with an IntelliFlo pump? It uses
up to 90% less energy than the typical single-speed pump , savings that
translate directly into money in your pocket.

Most pool pumps, even so-called energy-efficient
models, still use the traditional technology of an induction-style motor.
The IntelliFlo pump uses an advanced permanent magnet motorthe
same technology found in todays hybrid cars. Result: savings of
up to 90%, even compared to high efficiency single-speed
and two-speed pumps

SLOW AND STEADY WINS

With its ability to adjust speed, the IntelliFlo® Variable
Speed Pump takes full advantage of the scientifically proven Affinity
Law: Cut the pump speed by half, and you cut energy consumption
by 87%. The graph below shows just how dramatic your energy savings
can be.

Traditional pumps operate at set, unchangeable speeds. Those
speeds are almost always higher than required. As a result, they
overpower the jobs theyre assigned to do, which wastes energy.

Since the cost to operate your pump isnt itemized on your electric
bill, youre probably wondering just how much an IntelliFlo pump
could save. Here are realistic estimates
when comparing a traditional energy-efficient single-speed pump to the
IntelliFlo pump in a 20,000 gallon pool. Savings are calculated using
12 hours of operation, which represent common run times

The
Hayward EcoStar Variable speed pump is the most efficient pump at any
speed. Its super-efficient permanent magnet, totally enclosed fan cooled
(TEFC) motor and industry leading hydraulic design can save you up to
90% on your energy costs. The integrated Safety Vacuum Release System
(SVRS) helps prevent suction entrapment without additional devices, plumbing
or wiring. The EcoStar's service mode allows your service company to clean
pools quicker
Integrated controller is programmable with a self-contained 24-hour clock
and up to 8 custom speed and timer functions that allow EcoStar® to
manage flow throughout the day. May be eligible for rebate from your local
power utility. User interface can be repositioned or even removed and
